How low can you go?

I was wondering what people's experiences were cooking/smoking at the lowest temps they could possibly maintain on BGE. What was your lowest? How long? What'd you cook? I want to do an extra low and slow soon, but not sure what or how. I'm not trying to debate the NEED for lower temps here, just want to hear your trials and tribulations.

130F for an hour, bumped it to 140 and it slowly crept up to 150 during the second hour, then 175. I was smoking some Texas Hot Links that I had added a cure to (do NOT smoking sausages at low temps without a cure, too long in the danger zone). I will say that I was using a pit controller and I lit a few large pieces of lump directly on the patio with a weed burner and tossed them into the Egg after they were going pretty good.

I wonder about this too - for smoking bacon. My plan is to try with apit controller and a small fire - maybe even a mini charcoal bin from extruded metal - I'm trying to get 140-170 temps for a long time and make smoke?

what ive done that works is collect small pieces of lump from previous cooks and only put about an inch and a half on the lower grate, a littlle deeper in the center. you want the pieces small enough to block most of the air holes and the spent lump doesnt seem to burn as hot. no controler here, just vents. open the egg as little as possible, opening it creates a bigger fire thats harder to control

Not that low but long duration around 12-14 hours at 180-200*F smoking jalapenos. No controller but did require minor lower vent adjustments every few hours. As Fishlessman said above, small fire (light bottom center) with lots of small pieces of lump and pecan wood chips throughout. Yearly exercise-requires lots of adult beverages for the supervisory role
